  Because she was doing public good at the time? I get it’s super fetch to be ACAB and generalize and such, so you may not value cops as emergency workers until you need one, but leave room for other people to respect emergency workers in a burnout-prone job.

    I said nothing about ACAB, I questioned why this one singular case, out of over a thousand a year, gets national coverage when the others don’t.

    It was a rhetorical question really because the answer is sociopathic leaders are exploiting her death in an attempt to garner public goodwill via copaganda. And people spilling out faux grief can’t help but push it along.

    Instead of thoughts and prayers perhaps the police could push for increased public transport and reduced usage of private transport due to their up close experience of the death and destruction it causes. But no, why would they do that when they can get faux grief from people and keep doing what they do every day regardless of the number of deaths due to it?

    “Super fetch”, how’s that boot taste? Maybe it’s a burnout prone job because they know 75% of what they do is acting as the bully boys of capital and the state, and they’re full to the brim of racists and misogynists, who don’t make very good co-workers.
